ResumoElectron microscope studies by several workers (1, 2, 3) have demonstrated an homogeneous, relatively dense membrane at the upper limit of the dermis, 200-400 A in width, separated from the epidermal cell membranes by a less dense zone approximately 300 A in width. Selby (2) has called this submicroscopic structure the dermal membrane to distinguish it from the controversial “basement membrane” described in light microscope studies (4, 5, 6), but her term has not yet come into general use.
